Mark Frost has been in ministry for 50 years, 34 of which were spent with a single congregation, the Trenton Church of Christ in suburban Detroit. He also served as an elder at the Trenton church for eight years. Mark led the Trenton church through a period of long-term, sustained growth. He facilitated the transition from a ministry staff of one to a staff of four ministers and helped transform the leadership structure to make best use of the gifts of the multiple staff. Mark also began a small-group ministry and a Celebrate Recovery ministry at the Trenton church.
